Lili and Xiao Wu had just gotten married. In the throes of new love, they couldn't help but be intimate with each other. However, they had a disagreement about contraception methods.
To make their sex life more intimate, Xiao Wu didn't like using condoms and instead chose withdrawal as a method of contraception. However, Lili thought this method was unsafe, but nothing could overcome their deep affection, and after a while, Lili stopped insisting.
But then, something unexpected happened: after her period was two weeks late, Lily found out she was pregnant! The young couple were completely stunned...
Why is in vitro testing unreliable?
Withdrawal method is a method of contraception in which the man withdraws his penis just before ejaculation, expelling the semen from the woman's body.
However, the effectiveness of withdrawal as a contraceptive method is indeed problematic. Before the man withdraws, a small amount of semen may have already entered the woman's body . Also, some men may not withdraw in time during orgasm, leading to semen entering the vagina. At this point, the sperm count in the semen is extremely high, making pregnancy very likely.
In addition, during sexual intercourse, sperm that remain in the vas deferens can be expelled into the urethra as the vas deferens contracts , and then enter the woman's body with urethral secretions, which can easily lead to contraceptive failure.
Finally, if withdrawal is chosen, the man needs to focus on avoiding ejaculation throughout the process, which can easily affect the quality of his sex life in the long run.
Why are condoms currently the most recommended method of contraception?
There are many common contraceptive methods available today, including birth control pills, condoms, and sterilization. However, among these methods, condoms are the most effective and have the highest recommendation rate, offering many advantages that other methods cannot match.
• Can prevent disease
Condoms can prevent many diseases and isolate the spread of viruses and bacteria, such as reducing the probability of infection with HIV and gonorrhea.
• Can treat immunological infertility
Antisperm antibodies can cause infertility. If a woman suffers from autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or endometriosis, which cause immune system disorders, the immune system will attack the sperm and produce antisperm antibodies. This situation can cause the sperm head to remain attached to the tail, making the tadpoles lose their vitality and ultimately causing infertility.
Using condoms can isolate sperm from eggs, reduce antigen stimulation, weaken antibodies, and suppress the immune response.
Lubrication
Condoms contain a certain amount of lubricant, which provides a lubricating effect.
Men need to learn 3 condom usage techniques
To ensure condoms work effectively without compromising the experience, mastering the correct method is crucial.
1. Open the packaging, with the airbag at the bottom. Unfold the condom to expose the airbag portion, then place it on the head of the penis. Use your other hand to curl it to the tip. It is important to note that this should be put on before intercourse begins.
2. Secondly, if there is residual air inside the condom, it may break during intercourse. Use your thumb and forefinger to squeeze out the air from the front pocket of the condom before putting it on. Make sure the condom is securely on during the process; if it slips off, immediately put it back on.
3. In addition, after ejaculation, the condom should be removed only after the penis has completely withdrawn to avoid the condom coming into contact with the other person.
Condoms are a highly effective and convenient method of contraception, but it's essential to know the correct way to use them.
